Architect M. Frederick Butler designed the neoclassical style California State Capitol in 1874. The building houses the state legislature and the office of the governor. The building is based on the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. The west facade ends in projecting bays, and a portico projects from the center of the building. At the base of the portico, seven granite archways brace and support the porch above. Eight fluted Corinthian columns line the portico. A cornice supports the pediment above depicting Minerva surrounded by Education, Justice, Industry and Mining.

The Capitol was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and listed as a California Historical Landmark the following year. Located at 10th Street and L Street in Sacramento, California.
